To be a reliable engineering project management, consulting and business partner for small to medium enterprises and public authorities in Papua New Guinea — exceeding expectations.
About us
Serving the space between engineering and business
Established in 2012, with a deliberate focus on the small to medium enterprise and provincial government market in Papua New Guinea.
Who we are
RightLines Brown Limited was established in 2012 to serve the space between engineering and business in Papua New Guinea, with a deliberate focus on the small to medium enterprise and provincial government market. Fourteen years on, RLB delivers innovative, sensible and cost-effective design, construction and project implementation across civil, building, marine and associated infrastructure.
Our practice is led by a Registered Engineer with more than 30 years of experience across the full project cycle, supported by a standing panel of sub-consultants covering architecture, quantity surveying, structures, geotechnics, survey and GIS, environmental and social safeguards, communications engineering, and project accounting. This structure lets us scale a team precisely to the assignment rather than carry overhead our clients pay for.
We work to a simple standard: projects delivered to specification, to budget and on time, with documentation that stands up to audit.
To ensure clients receive service delivery and outcomes that exceed expectations, continually improving service excellence while remaining attentive to cost and time implications.

How we deliver
Five disciplines we bring to every assignment
Design management
We coordinate architectural, structural, civil and services design against a client-approved brief, holding design reviews at concept, developed and detailed stages, and issuing controlled drawing registers so that what goes to tender is what was approved.
Cost & procurement discipline
Every design package is priced from measured quantities, not allowances. Bills of Quantities are prepared trade by trade and reconciled to the drawings before tender issue, which is what allows an authority to defend its award and control variations later.
Contract administration
We administer contracts under FIDIC Red Book, CSTB/NPC and DoWH procedures — instructions, claims certification, variation registers, extensions of time, quality and traffic management plans, and monthly progress and expenditure reporting against the approved budget.
Safeguards & compliance
Social safeguards, GEDSI, occupational health and safety and HIV/AIDS awareness requirements are built into contract documents and monitored on site, consistent with DFAT and GoPNG standards and ISO 14001 environmental management practice.
Capacity building
Where the client wants it, we structure assignments to transfer skills — competency-based training plans, counterpart coaching and documented procedures the client keeps after we demobilise.
